not only did he vote against john boehner today, he voted for eric cantor. we'll find out why. even though you say, perhaps he's really on the tea party side of things, he also refused to sign the grover norquist pledge. he could be a real blueprint as to whether anything is going to get done in this congress and why he voted for eric cantor. plus, we're going to talk about in maryland, wolf, we've been talking a lot about mental health in relation to gun policy in this country. and in maryland, a panelist has come forth with a panel of recommendations that say, if you make a threat against somebody, a threat against their lives or makes them feel afraid, that if you have a gun, law enforcement could come and seize all of your firearms. is that fair or is that a violation of the second amendment? that's coming up, top of the hour. >> it's a good, intriguing question. i'll be watching, erin. thanks very much. sounds like an excellent show at the top of the hour. >>> other news we're following including a taliban commander who is killed in a suspected drone strike. kate's been mo

you had majority leader eric cantor going another way. there seems to be a split inside the party. >> and you hear it in the grassroots. you hear it all across the country. the republican party historically has been against raising taxes. but viewers should know that 98.5% of americans are going to get a permanent tax cut and that even grover norquist the leader in the anti-tax movement has said that this isn't a tax increase. you're correct, that there are schisms within the gop that did not exist before but that's what a new congress does. and if the focus turns from tax policy to spending i think that you'll find that the republicans will unite. >> yeah, but i think part of the criticism as you know frank, is that here's a republican party that agreed to tax cuts but got no spending cuts and no entitlement reform out of this president, that it wasn't a great deal after all. >> and that's -- and the american people would agree with that. norah, you're correct. and so they're going to come back at this with the debt ceiling and with the
